What if brain implants didn’t require brain surgery? 🧠🧪 Deblina Sakar from @medialab.bsky.social is creating brain implants that are a million times smaller than a grain of rice, so tiny, they can bypass surgery altogether.

Our work shows how the fusion of #nano-#electronics and biology can remove the barriers of cost, invasiveness, and surgical complexity, which currently prevents millions from getting treatment — opening a new era of #accessible #healthcare.

Recently, I received an email from a father whose 10-year-old child was diagnosed with DIPG — an aggressive brain cancer. Messages like these, from patients and families facing devastating neurological diseases, are heart-wrenching & deep-reminders about the urgent need for new technologies.

Imagine a world where having an #electronic #brain #implant is as #simple #as a #vaccine! Last 7 years of our research at #MIT brings this from the realm of science fiction to real world possibility! checkout this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDcg...

What if clinicians could place tiny electronic chips inside the brain without the need for any surgery but with a simple injection in the arm? This is not a science-fiction any more! At #NatureBiotechnology today, we report the world’s first electronic #brain #implant #as #simple #as #vaccine!

Happy to share our latest publication. We have developed tiny, injectable antenna — smaller than a grain of sand — that can harvest wireless power from low-frequency magnetic fields and capable of powering deep-tissue medical implants in a safe, minimally-invasive way.

Our work on bioelectronic treatment of #brain #cancer has recently been highlighted by ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation.

It was exciting to give a talk at the MIT Media Lab members event about our technology of #autonomous and #non-#surgical #brain #implants for treating intractable and deadly brain diseases, which even drugs cannot treat and creating unprecedented brain-computer symbiosis.

Pls #share. Do you want to be a part of an amazing team and build next-generation neurotechnology involving novel electronic devices that seamlessly integrate with the brain, enabling #brain-#computer #symbiosis beyond conventional brain-computer interfaces?

It was wonderful to give an invited lightning talk at Brainmind event about our #autonomous and #non-#surgical #brain #implant technology, developed in our MIT lab & proven through our preclinical animal studies. Now we are excited to advance this for human translation through our new #startup.

My star student Kyuho will be presenting our latest technology the #CirkTrek: a wearable device capable of detecting even single circulating cells trekking through the bloodstream, which opens up unprecedented opportunities in health monitoring as well as diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Imagine a smartwatch that keeps track of important cells in your blood all day long. Our recent paper introduces #CircTrek - a wearable device that can detect the faintest signals from even a single cell flowing through the blood vessels.

A #brain #implant that is completely #SurgeryFree is here! No intracranial surgery. No catheters. No surgery related risks or costs! We have built the world’s first #Autonomous and #NonSurgical brain implants for treating intractable neural diseases!

Thrilled to share that our work on deterministic switching of atomically layered magnets is one of the top 25 physics papers published in Nature Communications in 2024. These devices can form fundamental building blocks of #energy-#efficient #AI. news.mit.edu/2024/researc...

Excited to see our #wearable #for #cells technology featured at the #Brain #Initiative! Just like we have wearables for our body, these devices act like wearables but for the cells and can enable bio-interfaces with sub-cellular scale resolution. .

My star student Shivam Kajale will be presenting at the APS Global Summit on field-free deterministic switching of atomically layered ferromagnets. These novel spintronics devices have huge potential for #brain-#like computing and #energy-#efficient #AI. . . @medialab

Excited to receive the notification and badge today from @natureportfolio.nature.com that our #wearable #for #cells technology is honored as one of the top 25 papers published in Communications Chemistry based on downloads. It received 10,604 downloads in 2024.

Thrilled to receive the prize for "The Most Exciting Research" at The Sontag Foundation conference! Our technology shows the promise of treating deadly #brain #cancer: Glioblastoma which is even resistant to chemo- and radiation- therapies.

A click from the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) meeting. It was wonderful to meet old friends and make new ones.

The excitement and happiness of receiving the Bochhorer Best Award was amplified a million times as both my parents could join the award ceremony!

While I have received other awards, The Bochhorer Best Award received in India holds a special place in my heart ❤️ www.telegraphindia.com/my-kolkata/e...

Thrilled to receive the Bochhorer Best Award 2024 as the best scientist! This award celebrates excellence across diverse fields, including science, arts, business, and film and was presented in a grand ceremony hosted by Anandabazar Online in India.

Our work on nano-antennas for wirelessly detecting bioelectrical signals precisely is headlining the MIT news today. Thanks to #NIH for supporting this work! Check out our paper in #ScienceAdvances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Happy to share our new paper that just got published in #ScienceAdvances today. We have developed organic electro-scattering antennas (OCEANs) that enable recording of electrical signals wirelessly with micrometer spatial resolution from thousands of recording sites simultaneously.

Just like wearables for our body we can have #wearable #for #cells! These devices are wirelessly actuated to morph to cells & even roll with ultra-low radii of curvature to wrap individual axons. On left are the AI's renditions & on right are Scanning Electron Microscopy images of our devices.
